The first is in the Smoky mountains of North Carolina in the Nantahalie (?) Gorge. It is called "The Blowing Springs" and is easily reached from the highway. The cave has an icy blast of air and a cold stream flowing from it continuously, from which it got its name. It is not known by the writer whether anyone has ever entered this cave or if this is possible, but there are many who have been to the entrance to look in.

   The second is called “The Devil's Well”, and is located in the "Hole-In-Ground" near Pine City, Washington. The cave is very round and approximately five feet in diameter. People are known to be afraid to enter this cave due to the rumor that it is a rattlesnake den. It would be interesting to learn if there is any truth to the rattlesnakes and why it is named "The Devil's Well," and by whom! -- Frank W. Haigler., Box 18, Apr F-22., Sahara Valley, Utah

   "It is understandable that when volcanoes are inactive, they are covered with snow and ice. Many volcanoes rise out of "the eternal ice". One of the tallest volcanoes in the world is Mount Rainier, in Washington, in the northwestern United states. This mountain, which lies south of the port of Seattle, is 14,000 feet high and naturally the top of it is covered with ice. However, there is something strange about this ice. If Jules Verne had known about Mount Rainier, he would have made it the place where the travelers entered the earth in his science-fiction novel JOURNEY TO THE CENTER
